Neon Lights Shawlette By Dana E. Freed
I love all things neon, so I could not have been more excited when I saw the new Manos Alegria yarn in neon colors! I couldn't decide which one to get, so I combined two subtly different colorways. This simple shawl has quickly become one of my favorites.
Materials:
\*1 Skein each of Manos Alegria Sock (approx. 445yd/ea) in two similar but different colors (shown in Candombe and Locura Fluo). Note: The two strands are held together throughout, so you can also use 445yd of any worsted weight yarn held as a single strand. ① 2013 Dana E. Freed, all rights reserved.

This pattern may not be reproduced or used for resale without written permission of copyright holder. Repeat Rows 1—9 throughout. (Note: On Row 1, you will knit into each stitch and drop the wrap. I recommend counting your sts after this row to make sure you have the same number of sts on the each side of the stitch markers.) BO all sts when you have used almost all your yarn, ending with Row 8. For a larger shawl, use more yarn and continue to repeat the basic pattern as many times as you want. @ 2013 Dana E.
